Memory Partition

Partitioning the MicroSD Card

Partitioning the MicroSD Card reserves a percentage of space for each type of recording.

The Benefits of Partitioning

Partitioning the MicroSD card has several benefits:

1) Improved Organization: Partitioning a MicroSD card allows you to separate files and data into distinct sections, making it easier to manage and organize.

2) Increased Performance: Partitioning can help improve the performance of your MicroSD card by optimizing the allocation of space and reducing fragmentation.

3) Improved Security: Partitioning can help you secure your data by allowing you to store sensitive information in a separate partition.

4) Better backup and restore options: Having separate partitions for different types of data makes it easier to back up specific sections of your MicroSD card, or to restore just the data you need in case of a failure.

5) Compatibility with multiple devices: Partitioning the MicroSD card can also make it easier to use the card with multiple Thinkware devices, as each partition can be formatted with a file system that is compatible with a specific device.

Recording Times by Partition Type

The Recording Times below are measured by recording in 1080P using a 64GB MicroSD Card.
To learn more about the specific recording times for 2K, 4K, or if using larger MicroSD cards, kindly check this link, Recording Time
1 Channel = Front Only, 2 Channel = Front and Rear/Interior
Changing the Partition Type will format the MicroSD card.
